| Summary: | After spending five to six years sitting
in a classroom almost every day for anywhere between 4 to 7
hours a significant share of students in low and
middle-income countries are not able to read, write or do
basic arithmetic. What is going on inside these classrooms?
A growing body of evidence provide evidence of poor teaching
practices and little to no learning going on inside the
classroom. As such, the learning crisis is a reflection of a
teaching crisis. What can teachers do inside the classroom
to tackle this teaching and learning crisis? This paper
systematizes the evidence on what are effective teaching
practices in primary school classrooms, with special focus
on evidence from low and middle-income countries. By doing
so this paper provides the theoretical and empirical
foundations for the content of Teach classroom observation
tool. Implication for teacher education and evaluation are discussed. |
